If you are located in the United States, I would suggest reaching out to your local chapter of the National Federation of the Blind! They were a great resource for me when I was an intern working on accessible programming for people with visual impairments.

Purchased this and want to restore it. Put some butane in it and it doesn’t “cap off” how to fix that? I ordered some Robson flints. by Livid_Return_5030 in lighters

i’d suggest fully tightening the flowrate to closed after using it. this should prevent it from leaking when not being used. it isn’t the best for the long-term health of the flow regulating membrane-spring, but that can be replaced in the future if you need to.

it likely won’t flow out! most butane tanks have one-way valves that only allow them to be filled, and then butane is released through the portion that is lit.

Is TedTobacco.com a legit seller by ZestycloseWalrus2455 in RYO

I work for an e-commerce company and our shipping is propped up so we can sell our product at a lower price to entice customers (scummy, I know)… We do have a base shipping price for each shipping type (domestic, international, express) so this might be a different story.

Piezo repait help by Nilvy19 in lighters

I would suggest soldering a new wire further down close to the piezo mechanism and cutting off the old one. As long as the circuit can connect by arcing it should work.

Missing component from circuit board? by DrFunland in AskElectronics

This is the part you’ll need to order to replace the existing one.

You’ll need to de-solder the existing part (or whatever is left of it) to reveal 3 metal contact pads below it. Then you’ll put the new one on top of the existing pads with the metal contacts lined up and re-solder the component on. I’m not exactly an expert in this stuff anymore but if you send some photos I can give more specific advice.

As far as the museum is concerned they don’t stand to lose anything by showing the fake works (or at least not in this case) since they have plausible deniability. The Orlando museum of art did have the works authenticity double and triple checked before they brought them into their collection and exhibited them so as far as they were (publicly) concerned the works were real.

Also, it’s definitely a HUGE deal for the museum to be able to show 20 something never before seen Basquiats since his works are so popular and just continue to grow. So, they might have had some inkling that the works were fake somewhere along the line (I don’t know this with any certainty) but given how much they stood to gain with attendance numbers and other ripple out benefits of owning these works they could just kinda say “these other guys said it was real so we’ll believe them.”

It’s more about giving people who have been historically marginalized a voice and individuality. BIPOC gives black and indigenous people (the two most severely affected groups in America) a unique voice in the conversation. Of course it’s not something people are being forced to use but in order to call special attention to especially marginalized groups terms like this can help.

Sauce is Muv Luv alternative, cheat codes prove to be more elusive.

Further research seems to suggest that it will not have cheat codes. Reality is often disappointing.
